In the end, Lin Taozi and Lin Xiazhu left. They were originally going to take a plane back to China that night, but the twins were not in good spirits because of jet lag. Lin Xiazhu felt very sorry for them and did not want them to be too tired, so she decided to stay for two more nights.
When I returned to China, I bought a lot of gifts for Mo Xun, which made the little guy very happy. When his twin brother tried to take them from him, he didn't get angry. He just waved his little hand and said, "Take whatever you want to play with. I'll give them to you."
Lin Xiazhu's life hasn't changed much, but Lin Taozi's life isn't so easy. She can't go to film anymore and is living in the house opposite Lin Chacha's house. This house also belongs to Lin Chacha and was originally rented out. The original tenant's lease has expired and they haven't found a new tenant yet, so it's now available for Lin Taozi to live in.
Worried that Lin Taozi might get bored staying home alone during the day, Lin Chacha took her to a building materials store to play, and basically just sat in the office daydreaming.
“Junbo has shifted his work focus overseas and he’s not in the country now. You and my older sister don’t need to keep an eye on me like this, do you?” Lin Taozi felt very stifled after being monitored for a few days and felt like she couldn’t breathe.
"Peach, don't blame me and your older sister. We're just worried you'll be deceived. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, so you need to observe and think things through carefully. Don't just think about how good Bai Junbai is to you. Have you thought about how you'll get along with your older sister and the others in the future? Have you thought about how outsiders will see you? What will outsiders say about your children when you have them?"
Lin Chacha was extremely worried. "Don't tell me you can't care what others think or say. That's just self-deception. Who doesn't care about their reputation? Who can truly remain unmoved by external influences? Even my older sister and I, who have thicker skin than you, can't completely let it go, let alone you."
"Junbai said that after we get married, he will take me abroad to settle down, away from all the hustle and bustle here." Bai Junbai has already thought of a way out, otherwise he wouldn't have started to focus on development abroad again.
"You abandoned me and my older sister for a man? After getting married, you even had to hide from acquaintances and live in a place where you don't know anyone. Are you really happy?" Lin Chacha questioned in succession.
Lin Taozi's tears were about to fall again. She was reluctant to part with her eldest sister, second sister, and nephews, but she genuinely liked Bai Junbai. Why was it so difficult?
Seeing how heartbroken she was, Lin Chacha felt a little sorry for her and had to change the subject. "Did you know that Zhang Yu is dead? Your second brother-in-law was even arrested and detained for two days. Fortunately, your eldest brother-in-law stepped in and found evidence, otherwise it might not have been so easy to get it over with."
“…How could Zhang Yu?” Lin Taozi was stunned, her heart aching even more. “Brother Yu used to be so good to us, so kind to everyone. How could such a good person…”
"It was Wang Shi who did this. She arranged for Zhang Yuran to read it, and then she got tired of him and paid someone to kill him... Now the Wang family is almost finished. Your eldest sister hates the Wang family to death, and she will definitely avenge Zhang Yuran."
"What about Wang Shi's child?" Lin Taozi was referring to the child born to Zhang Yu and Wang Shi.
"Pah, that's not Zhang Yu's child at all. Who knows who that bitch Wang Shi had with? It's none of our business." Lin Chacha was also a mother. Although she felt sorry for the child and thought he would have a hard time in the future, that was all.
Because he was busy with work, Bai Junbai hadn't come home except to call Lin Taozi. Firstly, Lin Xiazhu and Lin Chacha wouldn't allow it, and secondly, he had a lot of preparations to make. He was definitely going to marry Lin Taozi, but there were many things to consider. He could disregard his own feelings, but he couldn't ignore Lin Taozi's.
So, it was more than a month after Lin Taozi returned to China that Bai Junbai finally had time to go back and see her. However, the two could not be alone together; they could only meet when Lin Chacha was present, or when they went back to the Bai family home, with Lin Xiazhu in attendance.
So Bai Junbo only had a week's vacation back in China, and the two only met twice. The first time was at Lin Chacha's house, and the second time was at Bai's house two days later. After that, the two could not meet again and could only contact each other by phone.
"You're going back so soon? Why didn't you take a few more days off?" Bai Junbai is leaving tomorrow, and Lin Taozi was allowed to come and see him off. Lin Taozi came to the Bai family for lunch today, but she can't eat at the Bai family's house tonight, in case she stays overnight.
For some reason, Lin Taozi felt particularly upset and angry. After enduring it for so long, she finally couldn't hold back and argued with Lin Xiazhu at the dinner table.
"Big sister, I don't want to be separated from Junbai. I want to be with him. I resent you and second sister watching me all day long. I don't want to stay in the country anymore. I want to go abroad with Junbai and marry him." Lin Taozi said this firmly, her face tense, staring directly at Lin Xiazhu with a resolute attitude.
When Lin Xiazhu saw Lin Taozi like this, she was stunned for a moment. She realized that Lin Taozi had really fallen in love with Bai Junbai. It would probably not be so easy to separate them. It was rare for Lin Taozi to be so persistent. Lin Xiazhu was actually a little shaken, but when she thought of Bai Junbai's past romantic history, she immediately rejected the idea.
"Are you so eager to become my and your brother-in-law's aunt? They haven't even proposed to you yet, and you, a grown woman, are already clamoring to get married. You need to be more reserved. Let's talk about this in six months. It's too early to say anything now." Lin Xiazhu was using delaying tactics. If she directly objected, Taozi would definitely be even more persistent, so she had to take it one step at a time.
"What era are we living in? Who cares about this anymore? Big sister, just tell me why you're against it. Junbai has clearly changed for the better. He entrusted all his properties and savings to me for safekeeping. Doesn't that prove his determination?" Lin Taozi said, feeling wronged. She couldn't stay strong for more than a few minutes before she started to cry again under her older sister's pressure.
"Are you made of water? I invited you here to eat, not to cry." Lin Xiazhu couldn't bear to see her pitiful state and felt annoyed.
"Xiaozhu, if you agree to let Taozi marry me, I can give up all my shares in Songbai Group, including all of the Bai family's assets." Isn't that sincere enough? If Lin Xiazhu is still not willing after this, Bai Junbai feels that he may have to resort to forceful measures.
He originally wanted to keep his promise to Lin Xiazhu and talk about it again in six months, but now Lin Taozi didn't want to wait anymore. She, a woman, dared to come out and fight for them. She was clearly afraid of her older sister, but she was still putting on a brave face and working hard for them. If he, a grown man, didn't make a statement, what kind of man would he be?
The woman he cherished most shed tears in front of him, and his heart ached. He wanted to immediately hold her in his arms, comfort her, and tell her not to cry or be afraid.
"Hmph, I know you're capable. Even if you give up all of the Bai family's business, you can still make a name for yourself. You want to give up, but Xiao An and I don't necessarily have to. Xiao An's abilities are no less than yours, and his own company is doing very well. Are we the kind of people who would sacrifice our sister's happiness for a few shares?"
Look, this is the confidence that rich and capable people have. Lin Xiazhu is very proud to have married a husband who can make money.
"You..." Bai Junbai was speechless with anger.
"Taozi, Taozi, are you alright? Where do you feel unwell? Taozi, wake up..." Lin Taozi suddenly swayed and fainted. Bai Junbai was one seat away from her, but he was the first to notice her abnormality and stepped over to catch her before she collapsed.
